Very few people I would ride with at those speeds. Vinny is simply awesome.

Only one close running to the bridge was Steve Gordon in his 46. Water was pretty rough and Vinny backed off. We were running 150 plus in really confused water. He is phenomenal on the sticks and Sam is a great driver

The video isn't great or even good but better then nothing and I hope you enjoy it. I also hope that this like works.

That area is always damn rough, does not matter if there is wind or not, current, freighter wakes and sea walls are a bad combo.

We were running just under 160 a few miles from the bridge. Backed off a bit then Gordon came up in his 46. Vinny got back into it but the big Skater just ate that confused water. Amazing what a difference 8'makes!
